tornus, Hindwings grey, darker in Q ; cilia pale grey, with darker subbasal 
shade. 
Khasis ; in May, four specimens, Very like facunda, but larger and more 
strongly marked, and easily recognised by the position of the plical stigma 
which is obliquely beyond first discal instead of before it, 
Leptosaces facunda, 0. sp. 
& Q. 11-12mm. Head, palpi, and thorax deep ochreous-yellow, shoul- 
ders dark fuscous. Antenne light yellowish, ringed in @ with grey, in 9 
with dark fuscous except towards base. Abdomen grey, anal tuft ochreous- 
yellowish. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, costa gently arched, apex 
_ obtuse, termen very obliquely rounded ; deep ochreous-yellow ; a streak of 
rather dark fuscous suffusion along basal third of costa ; stigmata blackish, 
plical rather before first discal, an additional dot beneath second discal ; a 
spot of rather dark fuscous suffusion on middle of costa, reaching second dis- 
cal stigma ; a moderately broad rather dark fuscous terminal fascia, rather 
prominent in dise so as to touch second discal stigma and dot beneath it : cilia 
ochreous-yellow, on tornus fuscous, Hindwings grey ; cilia whitish-yellowish, 
tinged with grey towards base, 
Khasis ; in June, four specimens, 
Leptosaces matea, ni, sp. 
& Q. 15-17 mm, Head and thorax whitish-ochreous, Palpi ochreous- 
whitish, second joint brownish or fuscous except apex, Antennz whitish- 
ochreous, dotted with fuscous except towards base, Abdomen whitish-ochre- 
ous tinged with grey, Forewings elongate, rather narrow, costa gently arched, 
apex obtuse, termen very obliquely rounded ; whitish-ochreous: cilia con- 
colorous, Hindwings grey ; cilia ochreous-whitish tinged with grey towards 
base. : 
Cuddapah, 4,000 feet (Campbell) ; three specimens.

The original diagnosis should be corrected or extended in the following 
particulars. Antenne 4 to nearly 1, in @ simple, rather thick. Labial palpi 
in & with basal joint somewhat lengthened, second joint greatly elongate, 
moderately stout, smooth-scaled, pointed, terminal joint absent, in Q with 
second joint normal, long, terminal as long as second or shorter, slender, 
acute, Forewings with 2 and 3 sometimes stalked, 7 to apex or sometimes 
termen. 
Having now plenty of material for dissection, I find that the @ palpi are 
really two-jointed, the greatly elongate joint, which I supposed to be the 
terminal, being really the second, whilst the terminal is wholly absent ; when 
the palpus is denuded, there appears to be not even a rudiment of it, The 
long second joint, though somewhat pointed, is not slender, and acute like the 
true terminal. As further evidence that it is really the terminal joint which 
is absent, it may be noticed that in such species as scrupulosa and metrica, 
where the second joint in the Q bears a black subapical ring, this same ring
